Councilwoman Acquanetta Warren is among six candidates running for the seat that will be open when Mayor Frank Scialdone’s stint ends.

According to the City Clerk’s Office, the other candidates are: Melissa Brown, Bobbi Jo Chavarria, Keith McCarter, Chuck Andrzejczyk and Vincent Daniel.

The general election this year is Nov. 2.

The City Council tapped Scialdone last month to fill the mayor’s seat after Mark Nuaimi stepped down to take over as city manager in Yucca Valley.

Scialdone announced earlier this year that he would not seek office again.

“This could be a pivotal election,” Scialdone said. “I hope whoever gets elected has one agenda: the betterment of Fontana and not personal interests.”

Scialdone said the new mayor and council will continue to wrestle with development issues throughout the city, and he hoped the newly elected officials would be dedicated to maintaining “the high standards” set by previous leadership.

Councilman John Roberts is running for re-election, and the city has a vacant council position.
